Hi,
It seems that you might have abscess in root of infected tooth a year ago.
Now is encapsulated with fibrous tissue and abscess became localized.
If root canal is done in the same tooth, you may require extraction of that tooth.
After that abscess will be drained out and you will be alright.
Consult dentist and take his opinion.
Ok and take care.
